Description: HERE IS the tense, moving story of Joe Chandler, who was branded by society as a potential killer, and of Mary, a tender, sympathetic girl who gave him new faith to face the future. Devil on His Trail begins, and ends, on a lifeboat adrift in the South Pacific. But this is far from being the usual "lifeboat" story. Joe, a merchant seaman, is one of the survivors of his torpedoed ship, along with two fellow seamen and Mary, a WAC on her way to a new assignment. During the weeks Joe and Mary fight off death at sea, Joe unravels the tangled threads of his life as he relives his past. While still a kid he ran away from his unhappy home and be-came a drifter, until Mary's father took him in and straightened him out. Then came the war, and Joe's enlistment in the Merchant Marine. But it is not until Mary and Joe are alone in the open boat with a thirst-crazed sailor that the supreme test of Joe's regeneration comes. Has he exorcised the "devil on his trail" — or will he become a killer at last?
